That seems ok, but this reminds me that I forgot to question the last chapter of this story. It was when Bruce Gray committed a patch with this comment: Log: Added basic support for yacc and lex to Configure. Fixed the constant rebuilds of IMCC on Win32. (NMAKE does not like the rebuild.pl method) I didn't have the opportunity then, but I'm really wondering -- what about this did NMAKE dislike? I still prefer the rebuild.pl method, but I don't have nmake, so I can't beat it into submission. Bruce?
